THE COPELAND CASE
By Cecilia Copeland
1975, Bev and Sam are opposite sides of bad divorce... She leaves the marriage so he takes off with the kids.
The wrong or right of it makes little difference to the children stuck between them.
When Sam takes off with their children, Bev never dreamed he would leave the country. To get them back, she’ll have to change the law, plead her case in the Israeli Supreme Court, and fight harder than she ever thought possible. Sometimes even the best intentions lead us down the wrong path, but there is always hope.
Based on the true story of the Copeland kidnappings, origins of the Uniform Child Custody Act.
